Temperature-controlled Shipping: Panalpina Gears Up For Growing Demand

Temperature-controlled shipping: Panalpina gears up for growing demand

Aug 14, 2012

One-fifth of Panalpina’s air cargo moved on specific routes within its own controlled air freight network today is temperature sensitive cargo. Each temperature-controlled shipment is equipped with RFID (radio-frequency identification) sensors, from pick-up to final delivery if desired. Demand for such shipments is rising, not only in the healthcare but other industries as well. As a consequence, Panalpina is extending its cool chain network with SmartView technology to ensure seamless monitoring, control and documentation. For the best possible transparency, SmartView is also being integrated into the company’s IT platforms.
